Wanting to start our Server updates for all critical and important security updates via an SCCM 2012 Automatic Deployement Rule, How does this sound?
We have seperated our servers into 4 different days for updates to apply, each server has been granted AD group membership for that day, example Pretest, day,2, Day 3, Day 4
I have created 4 Collections Named Windows Update Pretest, Windows Update Day 2, Windows Update 3, Windows Update Day 4with a query against AD Group membership
Each Collection has a maintance window recurring each month on that particular day between 8pm-4am
I have created the first ADR rule for pretest with the below settings
-Create a new software update group when rule runs (Does this mean i will end up with lots of software update groups after a few months?)
- Custom Severity "Critical or Important" Date released "Last 1 Month" Product "server 2003" or "server 2008R2" Or "Server 2012". Classification "Critical updates" Or "Security Updates"
- Evulation Schedule Each Month on the first day
Question: With the being multiple server operating systems in the collection, will the package with the different updates only apply what is required for the server or all updates in the package?
